Red Pepper Soup

I love red peppers. And yellow peppers. And orange peppers. I guess I really mean all sweet peppers! Raw, roasted, sauteed…you really can’t go wrong. I eat a ridiculous quantity of roasted peppers in the summer and fall months. As it gets colder, I turn more toward red pepper soup and sauce.

This is one of those “un-recipe” recipes. Every time I’ve done it it’s been great, and each time is slightly different, depending on what I have on hand and my mood. You can use different nuts. I like brazil nuts and almonds, too. When I have some, I add in a clove or two of roasted garlic, and it works well. I try to put aside some of my herb-y roasted peppers (if I can manage not to eat them all!!), but canned marinated peppers work, too.

The soup is creamy and satisfying and best of all it’s quick and easy to make!

Put everything except thyme in a blender and blend until smooth (this may take a while!). You’ll have a great soup ready in just a few minutes. Warm over gentle heat, sprinkle with fresh thyme and enjoy.

Life played a funny trick on me. I've studied nutrition for years, and much to my surprise, found out that I could manage many of my health issues via diet. I've been GF for years, and I've got a bunch of allergies and sensitivities. But it definitely doesn't keep me from cooking, baking and enjoying my food.
Thanks for stopping by.

This looks simply yummy! I too love using ground nuts in soups, especially cashews or blanched almonds. I never thought of pine nuts – and the combination with the roasted bell peppers just sounds great! Thanks so much for this recipe!

There are many kind of menu you can make with pepper. But same with you, my favorite among all of them are pepper soup especially red pepper soup. Aside from easy to make, easy find ingredients, delicious it also high in protein. I also find out that I can use toasted pine nuts too. Hahaha thanks for being generous with your recipe. A good and simple basic recipe that can be altered to suit personal taste.
